lyrics

She thinks she wants change, but will it take a disaster
before everything will move a little faster
She wants to feel the difference, she wants to hold it in her hand
Something hard enough to feel an impact when it lands

Oh come on, come on

In her dreams she’s in a theatre, which is filled up to the brim
the crowd is chattering and the show is about to begin
Her seat is in the front row: this ticket was a gift
From her great great grandmothers, who insisted that she had to see this

Oh come on, come on

The ghosts are everywhere; she wishes she could be
More than a production, be more than painted scenery
How about a little insight? How about a flashlight in the dark?
How about a program that would tell us how to interpret this part?

Oh come on, come on

But the lights all grow dim, and the orchestra begins to play
and now she can’t hear anything the inside voices are trying to say

How about a little progress? How about something new
Not just the same old voices dictating what she can do
Even recycling everything they’ve ever done,
she can’t ride hard enough to make the knot of contradictions come undone

Oh, come on, come on
Oh, come on, come on

Oh, come on, come on
